I doubt that it's possible to store the complete design for a human being in 12 gigabytes of data. Even if somehow this could be done through a very complex algorithm, there's no evidence of any biochemical mechanism that can decode all this data and use it in the structural development and growth of a human being. Clearly, there is a mechanism for decoding DNA and using that information to build proteins and the enzymes that run the chemical reactions in our bodies. But once you get beyond proteins and simple biomolecules, there's little evidence of an actual decoding mechanism that can decode and utilize any complex structural information in DNA. You would need some incredible kind of biochemical computer and software to decode all that DNA and somehow use those "blueprints" in the structural development of a human and manage that development process. There's no evidence that this kind of biochemical computer and software exists and nobody knows how these processes actually work.

I didn't read your other long, insult-riddled post. I scanned it briefly, but it was so arrogant, so pompous, so ignorant, and so lacking in respect for other people on this website, that I'm not going to bother reading it. When you issue a full apology for your arrogance and insolent attitude to everyone involved, then I might give it a read. In the meantime, you need to start thinking longer and harder because you are making lots of assumptions about biochemistry and evolution. You just have your blinders firmly attached so that you never see your own assumptions. Have a nice day and don't bother replying to me until we receive your apology. In the future, I will not read any of your posts to me until I receive your apology.

I doubt that it's possible to store the complete design for a human being in 12 gigabytes of data The entire human genome can be stored in three gigabytes, and a lot of that is redundant and there is no compression involved. So I reckon it would be quite possible to store the complete design for a human being in less than 1 gigabyte.

Actually I made an error in my calculation. Uncompressed and without removal of redundancy the human genome can still be stored in just 750 megabytes.
